A lot of places in the UK don’t have the coins deposit thing either. I pretty much avoid our local Aldi because they have this, and I never have any cash on me.
I don’t always put the cart back… But the times I don’t are the times I am finished with said cart right as someone going into the store comes along and offers to take it to use themselves.
I’ll be honest, even without Trump most Americans proved they were too stupid or stubborn to follow instructions, so he didn’t really need to do anything to slap the whole US with more infections.
The problem is Trump is both the cause and the symptom of a very broken Republican party. He definitely brings out the worst in his supporters, but they also bring out the worst in him. You saw when he tried to encourage vaccines and his supporters turned on him instantly, so he had to quickly back track.
I think, like you said, the only way he can attempt to steer the MAGA-ship at this point is to offer solutions that blatantly look like he’s doing it to own the libs. He can’t say “get the vaccine because it’ll prevent you from dying.” He’d have to say, “Biden is trying to take away the beautiful vaccine I created. He wants to give it to illegal immigrants instead of hard working people like you! The deep state is trying to trick you to believe that the vaccine is poison so they can give it to their pedophile leaders so they can be safe, while you good, Christian patriots are dying.”
Unfortunately his strategy was much more cartoonishly evil. By making it so taking the pandemic seriously was a partisan issue, he could make it so people voting in person were disproportionately likely to be his base. Then set up some regulations to prevent states from counting mail in votes until in person voting is done to manufacture a narrative that they’re less legitimate and try to stop the count.
Every pandemic that ended up as a seasonal disease is still active.
You can try denying they ended in this way, but you will end up with an unusable language because most things are technically not over as they had a continuation in some form.
Almost every sickness you get infected with had its hayday of mass genocide. It will die down and then occasionally reoccur.
Dont worry about it, they are mutating heck of a lot. 2020 pandemic is a lot different than the current situation is with the completely different strains we now have.
The current strains of COVID are more infectious and more dangerous than the 2019 strain was. Up until the end of 2023, the only reason we didn’t hear about it was because the vaccines were effective against them (and the corporations want to pretend that it’s been over for several years now). The latest strain is resistant to vaccinations from before the end of September, and the US just saw the second biggest spike in COVID cases since 2019, with an estimated peak at 2 million daily new infections on the 11th.
Just because big businesses say that the pandemic is over so everybody goes back to work and buying stuff doesn’t mean that the pandemic ended. There are plenty of immune compromised people who never left quarantine because they can’t with COVID still around. The rest of society simply decided that their deaths were less important than going back to drinking in crowded bars.
I just know them as little spoon, spoon spoon, round spoon.
There’s also the random big spoon I use for the dog’s food that just appeared many years ago. And wooden spoon which makes me feel like chef when using stir through pasta sauce from the jar.
i saw someone suggest it was for hanging torches and i desperately want to know what the fuck the inside of their mind looks like, and what they think a torch is
EDC torches with long-lasting paraffin and burnished-bronze keychain now on sale at Amazonicus. Buy now and get a credit-card-sized folding pitchfork half price, to always have in your pocket for those unexpected occasions.
I saw that post and it sort of made sense to me. Put the handle in the hole, stands upright. Another person comes along, rotates the torch to an angle and puts the handle of their torch in another hole to balance the weight of the two torches. Same with a third of needed, I think it could work if the device is big enough.
yeah that still doesn’t make sense to me, the only way i see it working is if you have a single torch placed in a face so it’s all upwards.
and why would you design something so strange to hold torches? imagine coming to someone’s house and their light switches are pipe valves in a closet you have to turn to dim the lights throughout the house, wack
if you want to hold multiple torches you can just have multiple sconces
Your light switch situation sounds like someone jury rigged their own Victorian gas light system with the controls in the cabinet next to the gas line for the stove.
Sounds very safe and an easy hobby project to teach both plumbing and explosive fire extinguishing
